Legend's MSIM and Silicon Canvas's Laker-ADP are integrated for Quality Results of Analog Designs

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 27, 2005 – Legend Design Technology Inc., a provider of circuit simulation and IP characterization software, today announced that Silicon Canvas Inc., a provider of custom layout and schematic entry solutions, has successfully integrated MSIM circuit simulator into its Laker-ADP (Analog Design Platform) design flow. MSIM circuit simulator has been well proven by its excellent accuracy, speed and convergence, especially for advanced analog and mixed-signal designs. MSIM has been used as the primary circuit simulator in the QA flow of Laker-ADP.

“As part of our commitment to provide our customer a complete analog design environment, we have integrated Legend's MSIM into our Laker-ADP, the high-end schematic entry tool with design-centric simulation controls. The integration with associated GUI (Graphic User Interface) has been implemented and verified through our QA flow. The use model is very intuitive and will be transparent to the user.", said Dr. Hau-Yung Chen, president of Silicon Canvas, Inc.

“MSIM has proven its value as a circuit simulation engine in Laker-ADP (Analog Design Platform) software system. We are very pleased to prove deliver excellent accuracy, speed and convergence in the product integration. The integrated flow combining MSIM, Laker and AMS, provides excellent quality of results (QoR) for the advanced analog and mixed-signal designs,” said Dr. You-Pang Wei, Pppresident and Ccchief Eeexecutive Ooofficer of Legend Design Technology, Inc.
